Anyway...Fairclough on Iron Horse?

Good news I say, I was worried we'd lose that 'factory' feel to the scene, but it's good to see sizable teams supporting riders. The race scene is getting back to it's best, I can feel it.

Wow, the 2008 race season is shaping up to be a battle of the super teams. This is very reminiscent of the Sunn Radical and Volvo Cannondale super teams. I know that Fairclough will kick as much ass on the Sunday as he did on the RN-01. The closure of the G-Cross sure has opened up some of the big names to be signed. Now they've all been picked picked up by the best teams out there. The '08 WC is shaping up to be good one.

Id have to agree with 08 will be a battle of the super-teams. Think about the lineups
Syndicate -Peat, Minnaar, Rennie and Bryceland
IH-Hill, Bryceland
Intense-Lehikoinen, Kovarik
Commencal- Athertons, Cedric, and some speculation has been thrown out about them increasing their roster size........
Subaru sponsored French super-team- who knows for sure? Barel for sure, maybe Jonnier, Vouilloz(sp?) and some other French rippers
I know im missing stuff too, but you get the idea
